Fractals in Science

This book presents a comprehensive study of how the unifying topic of irregular complex systems
can be used to analyze structure and processes across the field of the natural sciences, including
chemistry, biology,geophysics, physics, and medicine. It also gives an introduction to fractal
geometry and discusses in great detail fractals in biology, self-organized criticality, rough
surfaces and interfaces, random walks, chemical reactions, and fractals in chemistry , biology,
and medicine. A separate chapter (Computer Exploration of Fractals, Chaos and Cooperativity)
includes the 14 interactive programs on the accompanying 3 1/2 inch diskette that enable readers to
simulate the geometry and behavior of systems in diverse areas of natural science.
